In this episode, I got the chance to reconnect with Moondrop, a former track star who is now an established rapper in the underground Seattle scene. His charisma, character, confidence and passion speak boldly through his craft, and even more so through how he shows up as a person. In a very powerful way, Moon spreads messages of love, being yourself, and giving back- and through his rise from the pits of mental health turmoil amidst a chaotic 2020, he's come back stronger than ever.

02:27 - Artists that are currently influential to Moon, both sonically and in persona

10:00 - A further glimpse into Moon's first endeavor, in the sport of track and field, where he competed at the state level at Shorecrest HS and collegiately at Seattle Pacific University
20:10 - How his mother, who stated that his first major interactions would come from Pharrell, Macklemore, and Ellen Degeneres, has come into fruition eerily similar
25:07 - Where the name Moondrop comes from
27:15 - Moon's favorite things about living in the Pacific Northwest, and his vision of what Seattle can become in the near future
29:48 - The story behind "Loose Change", Moon's biggest track to date, how it came together, how it blew up, and how it met the ears of Pharrell and his creative team at "i am OTHER"
